God after all

Chapter 3 Forgotten Metropolis Taboo Area
The position he was standing at was a dead corner, already surrounded.

Those creatures with distorted facial features, cat faces, and strange tails waved their claws and swarmed towards them.

Their walking speed was as fast as lightning, and they were as agile as ghosts. They waved at the man in the iron mask with their palms that could cut through steel.

With a loud "boom", the trajectory of the bullet traveled along with the wind, and it hit the target steadily, sending a grinning monster flying towards the Man in the Iron Mask head-on.

The burning red lotus karma swallowed it ragingly.

Next, the continuous gunshots mixed with exhausted roars, and more than a dozen sick monsters were shot dead by the man in the iron mask.

The bullets that pierced their bodies turned into flames that could burn everything.

There were two dry, skinny things dragging their bleeding bodies to escape from the window, but they spontaneously ignited midway, and were completely burned by the flames, leaving only a wisp of soot that dissipated with the wind.

The chaos seemed to return to calm, and the man in the iron mask "Leng Ji" walked to the window and looked down on a sloping roof through his arrogant height.

He quietly overlooked the vicissitudes of the city. Except for the cold light on the silver mask on his face, his whole body was as black as ink, as if he was the god of death who walked into the world from the end of darkness.

He stood so quietly, unbelievably quiet, like a king remembering a kingdom that had collapsed for a long time. Everything in the kingdom was trampled by war and the iron hoof of time, leaving only nothingness and desolation.

In the world in his eyes, the sky with pouring rain is dark and obscure, and there is no one in sight. This scene is also like the scene five years ago, or if time stops, this place is still the winter of 2999.

This vast territory - the forbidden area of ​​the Forgotten City - was abandoned as early as the outbreak of the Holy Calamity in the winter of 2999, because the chaotic changes first started here and then spread to the whole world.

At that time, no local people were spared, and the infected were isolated here by the iron column nets that towered over the clouds, and were massacred by the army.

Although the riots gradually subsided in the spring of 3003, they still haven't completely subsided. The mutated freaks carrying the virus still remain in every dark corner of the world, and they are still being cleaned up by the army.

They do evil, feed on human flesh and blood, and are even more dangerous hunters than vampires—people call them "blood demons!"

The origin of the Gorefiend is the transformation of human beings after mutation.

The culprits who turned humans into such nondescript monsters were a group of "first-generation species" bitten by evil black cats.

Those cats are definitely not ordinary cats, they are completely black like dark creatures from the demon world, their eyes are blood red, and their graceful catwalks in the air come and go like the wind.

Their masters are one of the dark nobles of unknown origin, the two masters of the Krillottuya family, Lelyon and Genelle.

Rumor has it that the duo of unidentified brothers are close relatives of vampires, but this has never been confirmed.

Because he always wears a silver mask and has an ice-like appearance, Leng Ji, who is dubbed the "Man in the Iron Mask" by people, covers his head with a hoodie and jumps off the window sill of the seventeenth floor.

His windbreaker fluttered with the wind, his messy black hair caressed in the wind, and he landed smoothly in a posture that ordinary people could not do.

On the dilapidated square he passed, he met hundreds of lonely ghosts and a man.This encounter was like any previous encounter.

Those floating ghosts who can't go to the sky, can't enter the earth, and can only wander the world are silent.

Their bodies are covered in empty white formed by condensed mist. At first glance, they look like they are dressed in white robes. There are no faces in the hoods, and the whole is a white emptiness.

They are like illusions, like clouds, all quietly surrounded by piles of ruins.

On top of the reinforced concrete stones and the ruins composed of corpses, stood men chanting scriptures.

If Leng Ji remembers correctly, the identity of this man is very mysterious and special, he is a yin and yang who wanders between the underworld and the human world, and his name is Heize.

Leng Ji is not unfamiliar with his existence, but he is not very familiar with it. He just remembers that the underworld has no way to recover the souls of the dead in the taboo area, so he had to appoint Kuisawa to rescue them.

Kurosawa is like a solemn missionary, reciting scriptures that have passed away to his followers.

There are as many scriptures as there are dead people in the taboo area, each of which records a person's life.

Every time Kurosawa finishes reading a book, it means that there will be a lonely ghost disappearing silently.

They really disappeared from this world and never existed again.

In fact, Kurosawa does not know whose life is recorded in each book, and often silently comes to the taboo area of ​​the Forgotten City, and recites the "Long Dictionary" for them.

Every time after reading a book, a certain white shadow will disappear silently, and then Kurosawa will burn the finished book.

"I don't know when the day when I read the dictionaries for you will come."

The book held in his right hand ignited fireworks, and the fallen ashes whirled and disappeared in the wind.

Kurosawa looked down at the man in the iron mask in the white shadow, and blurted out his unkind words like curses.

"Members of the dark nobles broke into the Forgotten City and killed people, so be careful."

Leaving aside this careless words, the beautiful young man turned and left in silence.

"It should be you who needs to be careful, right?
Listen to the souls of the dead saying: One of the dark nobles, the two heads of the Krillottuya family, Lelyon and Genelle, came for the man in the iron mask.

The famous you have been targeted by them. "

"It came just fine."

"If the Man in the Iron Mask is found, it's what they've been trying to hunt down..."

While the words stopped, a chilling and dignified air flowed in the air.

Kurosawa, who knew Leng Ji's true identity, had a line of blood oozing from his cheek, which was the trace left by the purple light flashing in front of him.

"You shouldn't ask about my true identity."

"It was Pluto who once told me that you were the son of a virgin. He said that this is a secret that even the gods want to hide."

Standing quietly on the pile of ruins, Yang Ren sent Heozawa to watch the Man in the Iron Mask leave, but he didn't look back even once.

He silently walked towards the depths of the taboo area, to a more depraved place - the sixth district.

Maybe it was to hunt the blood demon, or maybe it was to find the members of the dark nobles.

The human beings who once lingered in the sixth district were like livestock locked in a huge cage, surrounded by blood demons who would eat them at any time.

The taboo area is the world of those who approach hell. It is unknown how many people are imprisoned here. Rumors say that there are more than 7 people.
